## One Piece Chapter 624, pages 11-12: Queen Otohime - Chapter: 624 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Jinbe, Arlong, Sun Pirates, Neptune, Otohime, Aladine ### Summary Page 11: Then one day, a bat brings an invitation "to the Royal Shichibukai." The offer reaches the Sun Pirates, and the bounty on Jinbe has climbed to two hundred and fifty million beli. Arlong reads the government move as proof that Jinbe has become a future threat: they are starting to realize how big a threat he could pose. Arlong urges Jinbe to send them a flat refusal and send his infamy soaring into the skies. But Jinbe quietly answers, "No... I think I might... ...accept their offer!!!" The crew is shocked. Page 12: Jinbe returns to Ryugu Palace, where Neptune says it is good to see him again. Jinbe explains his reasoning: if he joins the Shichibukai, the government will grant a pardon, allowing Aladine and the others who no longer desire a life of piracy to return home and live in peace. If he accepts, he might also help their people grow closer to the World Government. He says it could make up for the trouble they caused the queen, and Otohime has been in low spirits lately. But one thing bothers Jinbe about the pardon: Arlong, member of the Sun Pirates, is released.
